Reddick says of all the events he and his foundation put on in southeast Georgia, this is the one that he looks forward to the most.

“It’s the biggest one that hits home I think because it is here in the home town and it is baseball. Compared to the concerts and the races and the golf tournaments, this is the one that hits home the most," says Reddick. "It’s our best event, our biggest event where we get the best crowd and most enthusiasm out of.”
